Happy Birthday, and well done you for making the lifestyle changes you've made!

Go enjoy a lovely celebration (in moderation)!

Happy Birthday! Go and enjoy it as it is a special day. Eating till you feel bloated is not advisable and keep alcohol within the guidelines as excess plus BP medication may result in hypotension. Enjoy! 😊

Well done for making all those changes and Happy Birthday.

Go out and enjoy yourself, it's only one night and as long as you don't go mad it won't harm you.

Recovering from a heart event doesn't mean that you have to live like a monk, it's all about keeping everything in moderation and having a treat from time to time

Well done Alfie! It sounds like you are one of the few (sadly one of the very few) who make the really serious lifestyle changes. So if anyone deserves a bit of a celebration then it's you.

Have a smashing night out, and vow to remain part of your friend's and family's lives for many years to come!

Snap, me too !! Happy birthday. Don't let what has happened spoil your birthday, it's even more reason to celebrate. I did, we had a lovely family meal at a nice restaurant.I didn't worry about my choice of food or that I had a glass of wine with my meal(I'm not a big drinker) it was a moment to reflect at how lucky I am to have a second chance at life, I will always be grateful for that x

Happy birthday Alfie. Have a great evening with your family xxx

Trust your birthday is over and hope it all went to plan, well done on your achievement. Never be afraid or feel guilty to push the boat out once or twice a year.
